/ / Comics

In line with other Saturday Morning Adventures titles IDW has put out over the past year comes Dungeons & Dragons: Saturday Morning Adventures #1 offering a new adventure with the characters from the 80s cartoon who are still trapped in the realm of Dungeons & Dragons. While the characters haven’t visibly aged, conversation among the group in which all but Hank have given up hope of ever getting home suggests they’ve been through several campaigns at this point.

Strange Tales #89

/ / Comics

As part of Dragon Week, Throwback Thursday turns its attention back to the first appearance of Marvel’s most awesome dragon (created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby!).

Released in July 1961, Strange Tales #89 takes place in Communist China from the perspective of Chan Liuchow, a native of the small nation the Republic of Formosa. Oppressed by the Chinese invasion of his home, Chan decides to awaken a sleeping giant (literally) and tricks him into attacking China.

Detective Comics #551

/ / Comics

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to another classic adventure involving the Dark Knight Detective. Continuing a storyline begun in Batman #384, Detective Comics #551 is the middle chapter of a story in which Calendar Man has been hired to kill Batman. Making it appear that the villain has plans to kill Robin, pushing Batman to protect the Boy Wonder (a choice that really pisses off Jason Todd who is already in prime bratty little shit form), Calendar Man continues to commit a series of robberies centered around holidays since the beginning of the year.

The Mandalorian – The Foundling

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: The Mandalorian – Chapter 20: The Foundling
  • wiki: link

In an episode that keeps its focus on our main characters (amazing how much better that works!), “The Foundling” spends more time with the Mandalorian cult that have embraced both Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) and Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) after their return from Mandalore. Along with Grogu finally beginning his Mandalorian training, whose abilities shock some members of the tribe, and flashbacks to his escape from the Jedi Temple (which feel a bit unnaturally shoehorned in here to make use of Coruscant sets and visuals used in the previous episode), we also see Bo-Katan lead a group of warriors including Din after one of the children is snatched by a local predator.

John Wick: Chapter 4

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: John Wick: Chapter 4
  • IMDb: link

John Wick: Chapter 4 has the same strengths and weaknesses of the earlier films. We get bloody, brutal, and at times spectacular, violence set against the backdrops of music video sets brought to life, which are dragged down at times by stretches of world building unnecessary for our enjoyment of the former. The fourth entry of the franchise plays at cross purposes with John Wick (Keanu Reeves) looking to work his way back into the life he abandoned for his wife in order to get out again. In terms of story, it’s a bit of a mess. In terms of action, there are a couple of long sequences which fans will not doubt enjoy.
